Title: Mileage, whats yours
Post by: Tfsi_Mike on June 25, 2011, 02:36:19 pm: Managed to keep mine down in the first two years. 6.5 months in Afghan and living on camp so no commuting.

Then I went on course for a year in Uk so drove 400 mile return trip home every weekend :(
No commute 45 miles a day in Germany :-( A really great scenic, fun :driver: route but it gets to me putting the miles on :sad:

just touched 55,000 Had her since Jan 08
